Trailer Stolen - Help needed!
After this weekend with the flooding in Milliken I decided to leave my trailer at Ken Yee and Holly R Hendrickson 's place in Lakewood. This morning between 6AM and 8AM the trailer was removed from the location on Hoyt Street in front of their house. The police have been contacted.
The trailer is a white and black 8' wide by 14' foot long homebuilt trailer. On the side are faded stickers for Team Skinny, the Breckenridge Brewery and Racing 2 Save Lives. Across the back in large block letters is WWW.MRA-RACING.ORG
Inside the trailer is my bright yellow GSXR 750 teaching bike and both Ken and Holly's Ninja 250 racebikes. Ken's bike has green bodywork and the number 433 on it, Holly's is black with the number 833 on it. Additionally all of the "stuff" for racing is in there. Tires, tire warmers, suits, boots, gloves, helmets, tools.
Please share!

MIAMI — Heat president Pat Riley used the word "sacrifice" a lot in a rare talk with the media on the edge of Sunday's playoffs. It's a word everyone inside the Heat injects liberally in conversations to explain their success.
Sacrifice shots. Sacrifice minutes. Sacrifice ego. Sacrifice. Sacrifice. Sacrifice.
But when the question of whether this team can be kept together was raised once, then twice, in a way that shows it will remain a backdrop to these playoffs, Riley didn't mention sacrifice anymore.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
- Video: Pat Riley on LeBron molding his legacy
- Who has the edge: Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks
- Video: LeBron prepares for the playoffs
- Photos: Miami Heat Dancers in action
- Photos: The top 25 players in Miami Heat history
- How much does each Miami Heat player make?
See more photos »
He instead said it could be kept together, no doubt.
But …
"I'm going to leave that to Micky," Riley said.
Heat owner Micky Arison has been a model sports owner, if not simply by hiring Riley all those years ago, then also by getting a new arena built and sitting quietly at center-court to enjoy the show.
It would be stunning if he allows this team to break up. He no doubt has a plan in place already to keep it together when The Big Three can leave in 2014. Riley, after all, began planning for LeBron James' 2010 free agency in 2006.
But Arison's decision will prove interesting, and not just because he'll be asked to sacrifice like his players did in coming together. Remember, LeBron James and Chris Bosh took $15 million less than they could have to sign with the Heat.
Dwyane Wade took $17 million less three years ago than he could have. Udonis Haslem took a $20 million contract rather than the $34 million Denver and Dallas offered. Shane Battier took less. Ray Allen took less.
Can the multi-billionaire owner be asked to do any less?
But here's where the Heat story stretches beyond the normal sports story of how much an owner should sacrifice to win. The Heat are a marketing machine right now, as you might expect. The question is if they can fully unlock the financial rewards of that and lessen what will be a punitive luxury tax in 2014.
Here's a snapshot: The team has nearly eight million Facebook followers, an NBA-team high. Only 10 percent are from South Florida, though. Only half are in the United States. The other half are around the globe, suggesting the reach of this team at this time.
How do they profit from that?
The Los Angeles Lakers recently signed a 20-year television deal worth a reported $3 billion. That kind of local TV deal makes the luxury tax irrelevant to the Lakers, except for the diplomatic thought of being a good NBA neighbor.
Will the NBA allow the Heat to market itself more internationally to reach their fans? Times are slowly changing. The league has a 75-mile radius on broadcasting games locally and rarely let's that changed.
As recently as a few years ago, Houston couldn't break that to send Yao Ming's games back to China. The Heat got that loosened to be watched by 100 million Chinese television viewers last season and reached out to them in events like the Chinese New Year on broadcasts.
"I'd say it's a lot more 'unofficial' viewers," said Shane Battier, who toured China with Yao and has studied the country. "There's a lot of interest there."
China isn't the next frontier, though. South America is. Brazil and Argentina are being studied as preseason sites for the Heat to visit and welcome future fans. Players can sell shoes. The Heat can sell the future.
So there are two games playing out for the Heat. There's the playoffs, which consume all basketball attention starting with Sunday night's opener against Milwaukee.
"We've been conditioned to focusing on the moment," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That's started three years ago. We're not thinking about this series. We're thinking about [Sunday] night. That's it."
There's the business of basketball, though. When the doors opened Saturday afternoon to the final Heat practice before the playoff opener, there was Arison with his son, Nick, enjoying the Heat practice at a sideline table with Riley and salary-cap savant Andy Ellisburg.
That's the team charged with looking ahead today and keeping the Big Three together. Ultimately, it comes to Arison. Yes, he's a multi-billionaire. Yes, it'd be shocking if he doesn't keep this team together.
But, yes, he'll be asked to sacrifice in the manner like his players. The question remains just how much.

Jobs (PG-13)
In 1976, college dropout Steve Jobs heralded a revolution within the confines of his parents' garage. Jobs, along with friend and technical wizard Steve Wozniak, unleashed the homebrew Apple 1 personal computer kit onto an unsuspecting public, producing 200 units by hand and shipping each one themselves. Apple Inc. was born, and the world would never be the same. Today hundreds of millions of users around the world remain tethered to the remarkable products that Jobs championed - his impact on (more...)the world of technology was undoubtedly colossal, but his effect on our culture was simply immeasurable.No show times found for selected day.

They automatically deducted the dues on my card and shut the fan club as it was down shortly after. Pretty disgraceful way to treat loyal fans that have supported this band for 30+ years. Wish someone would respond to these issues and bring the fan benefits back.

What's on Amy's mind?
December 11, 2012
by Amy linnette
posted Dec 11 2012 10:09AM
When my husband and step-son were away during this past hunting season, I had occasion to take the dog out and in the course of putting her on her lead she seemed to "freak out" and was whining and clamoring to get under the deck (the lead is close to the deck so she can actually get her whole body under it but can't go too far). I wasn't sure what was up with her behavior, we typically have rabbits under the deck and she likes to chase them out but I had NEVER seen her react like this!
She finally calmed down a bit even though there was still a little barking/whining in the general direction of the deck so I stood out there trying to figure out what had caused this reaction. Well ……… it didn't take me long, out from under the other end of the deck came a porcupine!! I have seen them cross the road both under the circumstances when they had made it as well as when they hadn't, but I had never seen one "up close and personal" or at least as up close as I was willing to get ….. yuck!!
Now I consider myself pretty capable when the boys are away and had gone outside with the intent of shoveling the snow off the walk-way and deck (which I had done) and then filling the wood box in the house but I was proven not to be as tough as I had originally thought by one little (ok, it wasn't really very little) woodland creature who proceeded to leave the deck and go directly to the wood pile. Yes, I admit, I went back in the house and waited what I thought was a good amount of time (about 2 hours) for the little critter to do what he had to do and then vacate the area before I went back to my task of gathering wood.
When Dick came home from hunting I had told him about the encounter and he said that was NOT a good thing to have around, particularly under the deck where he could do some major damage. I proceeded to show him where the offender had gone (in the direction of our neighbor's house) after our meeting and we haven't seen a sign of him since…… until this past Saturday ….
Early in the afternoon Dick went to let the dog out (I know, makes you think that maybe potty training might be in order) and came immediately back in the door with the dog and yelling something about "he's back". I followed him back out onto the deck and sure enough, here was our little visitor perched halfway up a tree directly across from the deck and he just held on, lifted his head, looked at us and chose to stay where he was…. probably not his wisest move ……
Perhaps at some point I have mentioned that my husband is a hunter, maybe I have even expressed that he is a very good shot, either way, we no longer seem to have an issue with porcupines under our deck.

And I will not bid on it because you are there and I am in Alaska. While I might have some ideas as to what could be done, I do not know the water there and what works best and what does not really work.
As for Valve choices,,, 2510 or the Clack as both can be programed for different time frames of the cleaning cycle.
Autotrol and 5600 can not be.
With any valve choice I would not have the Vortech Distributor, I just could not trust it yet.

Aurora men charged with battery to police officers
By Stephanie Lulay email@example.com February 20, 2013 2:14PM
Updated: March 22, 2013 10:30AM
AURORA — Two Aurora men have been charged with felony aggravated battery of a police officer and a third with felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon following a police chase Tuesday night near the 600 block of North Broadway.
Julio Cesar Chairez Jr., 19, of the 900 block of Front Street, was charged with four felony counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in the incident, police said.
Ted Alberto Hildago, 21, of the 400 block of Union Street, and Jorge Alberto Yanez, 18, of the 400 block of Grove Street, were charged with felony aggravated battery of a police officer and felony resisting arrest. Hildago also was charged with drunken driving and possession of marijuana.
According to police, an officer saw a vehicle pull out of a gas station parking lot on Broadway without its headlights on at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. When police tried to pull the SUV over, the driver sped off before slamming on the brakes and striking a stop sign at Broadway and Pierce Street, police said.
The vehicle continued over the curb onto a grassy area before stopping at a gated entrance to a business in the 600 block of Broadway.
Police said Chairez jumped out of the SUV and attempted to flee on foot. An officer then arrested Chairez at gunpoint, police said.
Hildago, who was driving the SUV, refused to obey an officer's commands and attempted to reach under his seat, police said. Hildago and Yanez, who also was in the car, kicked, punched and refused to obey officers, police said. Officers used a Taser to subdue Hildago, police said.
Two officers were injured in the arrest, according to police.
A fourth man in the SUV, Caleb Aaron Frazier, 20, of the 800 block of Almond Drive, Aurora, was arrested without incident. Police said Frazier was charged with illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor.
After the four were taken into custody, officers went back to the area where Chairez fled and was seen throwing something. Police recovered a .25-caliber handgun in a black Crown Royal bag.

You have a tankless water heater?
When the shower is going, suddently there will be a very noticeable and cold reduction in water pressure and hot water. Obviously, the loss is from the hot side. No other showers/baths/or water used at the same time. In fact, it happens when the shower is used before anyone else.
The flow will cut back on after about 30 sec, but it won't be near as hot as when the shower started. Crazy. Need help
You have a tankless water heater?
Then the problem is likely to be the pressure/balancing/anti-scald valve inside the shower valve.
You have a problem that needs someone there to check it while it is happening. You do not have enough information for us to make a diagnosis. If you have a circulation system, then a bad check valve would cause those symptoms, but turning on the hot water in a sink would change the water back to hot again. But this is only one possibility among many.

These are ideal for anyone who wants a super stiff outboard bearing crankset, but wants the flexibility to run a super low climbing gear and a mid range big ring.

"It really hurt me," he admitted. "I've been losing sleep over it."
Prior to last month's game in Atlanta, Damian Swann exploded on to the scene in 2012. He blended in with a Georgia secondary that was packed with seniors. Swann accounted for 53 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions this season. He played a pivotal role in Georgia's wins over Florida and Ole Miss.
But last month at the Georgia Dome, Swann missed a few critical plays that cost the Bulldogs greatly. A pass interference call in the end zone in the first half put the Tide in prime position to score on the next play. Later in the fourth, Swann was covering Alabama receiver Amari Cooper when he notched the Crimson Tide's game-winning touchdown. The play catapulted Alabama to its third National Championship Game in four years and sent Georgia to a non-BCS bowl.
The lesson from SEC Championship Game is one Swann said he learned from. It left a sour taste in his mouth – one that he knew could only be removed by a strong season's end. The Capital One Bowl against No. 16 Nebraska in Orlando was a perfect platform to do so.
"I felt like I was due for a big game," Swann said. "I felt like I had to have a big game to at least be somewhat satisfied with our season."
And he did just that.
Swann finished the New Year's Day win with six tackles and doubled his season interception total with two picks on Nebraska's Taylor Martinez.
"He's not really an accurate quarterback," Swann said of the Cornhusker quarterback. "I knew with our [pass] rush, he was going to throw some balls up. I was just there to make the play."
Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said that Georgia's game plan from the beginning was to "force Martinez to play quarterback," which he said was well suited for Swann.
"Once they got to a certain point, I felt like we really needed to come after [Martinez]," Grantham said. "I thought we knocked him around pretty good and found a way to win the game and go out on a positive note."
That's exactly Swann was hoping for. Heading in to spring practice in March, the Atlanta native will become Georgia's No. 1 cornerback and a proverbial leader of the secondary.
"Damian made great strides he's made this year - I'm really proud of him," Grantham said. "He's a really good playmaker. Obviously he's going to be a leader for us as we move forward. You'll continue to see him progress and make those kinds of plays and be one of our team guys moving forward."

According to Abby Roha of AbbyÆs kitchen and Catering, it takes about 20,000 cookies. "It took us about a month and two weeks actually, we started with a good solid crew in our kitchen and have been baking, packing and freezing them in preparation for this wonderful event." Roha explains.
We asked the Parnell family if in keeping with tradition they had bought anything new to the residence for Christmas. "We havenÆt this year, our plan is to design a new ornament for next year, we havenÆt had a new ornament for the house for a couple of years now, and weÆd like to do that and offer that to the public" responded Governor Parnell.
Prominent local citizens were quite happy to see the new Governor and his family hosting the holiday party. Juneau Mayor Bruce Botelho said "For us itÆs a double Christmas present as it were, because we have a Governor who is a resident of the GovernorÆs mansion. And bringing life again to this revered building in Juneau."
Representative Cathy Munoz added "WeÆre so happy to welcome the Governor and his family to Juneau. Just in the last few days weÆve seen the moving trucks coming in and unloading all the boxes and itÆs just been a really really happy time for the community and also the GovernorÆs family to get to live and experience the first days of their new residence."
Governor Parnell also had a holiday message for our viewers: "During this Christmas and holiday season we just remember our troops who are overseas, and we love and support their families. All Alaska and Alaskans are behind you, and I think for the rest of your Southeast audience I just would like to say Merry Christmas and happy holidays."

The Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. — A friend who was on the phone with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin moments before he was fatally shot by George Zimmerman testified that she heard the Miami teen shout, "Get off! Get off!" before his telephone went dead.
Rachel Jeantel, the witness that was on the phone with Trayvon Martin just before he died, gives her testimony to the prosecution during George Zimmerman's trial in Seminole circuit court in Sanford, Fla.

Rachel Jeantel, 19, recounted to jurors in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial how Martin told her he was being followed by a man as he walked through the Retreat at Twin Lakes townhome complex on his way back from a convenience store to the home of his father's fiancee.
Jeantel is considered one of the prosecution's most important witnesses because she was the last person to talk to Martin before his encounter with Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012.
She testified that Martin described the man following him as "a creepy-ass cracker" and he thought he had evaded him. But she said a short time later Martin let out a profanity.
Martin said Zimmerman was behind him and she heard Martin ask: "What are you following me for?"
She then heard what sounded like Martin's phone earpiece drop into the grass and she heard him say, "Get off! Get off!" The phone then went dead, she said.
Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder for killing Martin. Zimmerman followed him in his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teen got into a fight.
Zimmerman has claimed self-defense, saying he opened fire after the teenager jumped him and began slamming his head against the concrete sidewalk. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic and has denied that his confrontation with the black teenager had anything to do with race, as Martin's family and its supporters have claimed.
Jeantel's testimony came after two former neighbors of Zimmerman testified Wednesday about hearing howls and shouts for help in the moments before the shooting.
Jayne Surdyka told the court that immediately before the shooting, she heard an aggressive voice and a softer voice exchanging words for several minutes in an area behind her townhome at the Retreat at Twin Lakes.
"It was someone being very aggressive and angry at someone," she said.
During the struggle, she said, she saw a person in dark clothes on top of the other person. Martin was wearing a dark sweatshirt and Zimmerman wore red clothing. Surdyka said she saw the person who was on top get off the body after the shot was fired.
Surdyka said she heard cries for help and then multiple gunshots: "pop, pop, pop." Only one shot was fired in the fatal encounter.
"I truly believe the second yell for help was a yelp," said Surdyka, who later dabbed away tears as prosecutors played her 911 call. "It was excruciating. I really felt it was a boy's voice."
During cross-examination, defense attorney Don West tried to show there was a lapse in what Surdyka saw. Defense attorneys contend Martin was on top of Zimmerman during the struggle, but after the neighborhood watch volunteer fired a shot, Zimmerman got on top of Martin.
West also challenged Surdyka about her belief that the cry for help was a boy's voice, saying she was making an assumption.
The other neighbor, Jeannee Manalo, testified that she believed Zimmerman was on top of Martin, saying he was the bigger of the two based on pictures she saw of Martin on television after the fight. Manalo also described hearing howling, but she couldn't tell who it was coming from, and then a "help sound" a short time later.

After watching his team drop its first home contest of the season 76-66 to Drake, Carter searched for answers to the performance of his players and was left with more questions.
Questioning his team's toughness and suggesting that perhaps some players have become content, Carter said changes will be made in order to get the Wolf Pack pointed in the right direction.
"You have to shake it up because I think guys are getting complacent. I got complacent thinking that certain guys were going to step up and they haven't, so you have to make a change," he said. "I think it's the best thing to do. I think you have to re-evaluate after seven games and find out what's best for the team and what's best for the rest of the season. It's not a tough decision. It's about guys being productive. You have to get your best players out on the floor."
In its seven games, Nevada (4-3) has relied heavily on its best two players, Deonte Burton and Malik Story. Combined, Burton and Story have accounted for 47 percent of the Silver and Blue's points this season. Friday night at Lawlor Events Center was no different, as Story tallied a game-high 19 points and Deonte Burton totaled 12, the only Pack players to hit double-digits.
Carter said that dependency has become a detrimental crutch for his team.
"I thought we tried to rely on two guys, Malik and Deonte," he said. "We didn't get anything out of anyone else really. That's the way our game has been going lately. Offensively trying to get it to just two guys, you just can't do it, especially against good teams."
While Nevada did not get enough contribution outside of Burton and Story to stay perfect at home, another area of the contest concerned Carter.
Drake dominated the interior, putting away 11 second chance points and scoring 14 points in the paint in the first half en route to a 45-39 lead at intermission. In the second half, the Bulldogs stayed down low and added another 14 points from the paint. A five-point deficit was the closest the Wolf Pack would get with 15 minutes left to play.
"Second-chance points come off rebounds. We're not tough enough underneath the basket to get rebounds," Carter said. "We know who's going to shoot the ball and where we're going offensively, but we're just not getting it done.
"Hopefully we can learn from this and get tougher, find the right combination and get the right guys on the floor to move forward and have a successful year."
Although his teams showing in defeat will force modifications to the lineup, Carter is not worried that it will be a recurring issue.
" We'll get it corrected."

When using api endpoint to migrate an existing vault to a new agent, the new agent should not be configured with any new backup configurations of its own. (See Migrate Vault API call for description.)
The Cloud Files container named z_DO_NOT_DELETE_CloudBackup is required for Rackspace Cloud Backup to work properly. If this container is deleted, you will receive the error, "Container does not exist. Invalid snapshot id and engine, and check config_backup.json id" when you attempt to do a backup.
Sometimes we see a customer backup fail with the error message: "Container does not exist Invalid snapshot id and engine, and check config_backup.json id."
There are two causes for this error:
Do not delete the z_DO_NOT_DELETE_CloudBackup container in their cloud files; it is used for backup. If you have accidentally deleted this container, contact Rackspace Support.
All of your Cloud Backups are stored in your Cloud Files account.
But what if I never set up a Cloud Files account?
When you established your Cloud Account, a Cloud Files account was set up as well. You are not charged storage fees for your Cloud Files account until you begin storing things in it.
You can create any number of backup jobs for each of your servers, and you can include a nearly unlimited number of files in each job.
For more inoformation, see Creating a Backup in the Rackspace Cloud Backup Getting Started Guide.
Our block-level de-duplication backs up only those portions of files that have changed since the previous backup. This means you don't needlessly backup the same unchanged data again and again. This increases efficiency by reducing the amount of data that is transferred for each backup, and reduces your storage space by not storing duplicate data. An added benefit is that this capability enables you to retrieve previous versions of your files (up to the limits specified in your data retention settings).
See our section on Scheduling and De-duplication in the RCBU Getting Started Guide.
You can use Rackspace Cloud Backup on virtually any server in the Rackspace Cloud. The exceptions are FreeBSD 9, Debian 5 and Windows 2003.
Note: If you have servers that are not in the Rackspace Cloud, you can use the equivalent service offered by JungleDisk for those servers.
If you have a server with a Managed Cloud Service Level, you may already have the Cloud Backup agent installed on your system. If not, contact your account representative to get started.
For more informations, see the Rackspace Cloud Backup Getting Started Guide.
Rackspace Cloud Backup is a service that allows you to select and backup specific files and folders from your Cloud Server. You can schedule any number of Backup jobs, and restore to the same system or a different one, giving you the flexibility and power to work with your schedule and your data.
Some key features are
For information on getting started with Cloud Backup, see our Getting Started Guide.
You choose how long your backups are saved: 30 days, 60 days, or indefinitely.
Read more about Retaining your Backup in the Rackspace Cloud Back Up Getting Started Guide.
You set up your backups in the Rackspace Cloud Backup Control Panel.
If you need to create a new Backup, click the System you want to backup, and then the Create Backup button. If you already have a Backup and want to re-configure it, click the gear icon next to the Backup name and select Configure Backup. See our page on Configuring a Backup through Backup Actions for more information.
Backups can be set to run hourly, daily, weekly, or on demand (manually).
Read more about Scheduling your Backup in the Cloud Backup Getting Started Guide.
With advanced deduplication and compression capabilities built-in, Rackspace Cloud Backup can save you money by using less storage. Standard rates for Cloud Files storage fees apply. For current storage fees, see the Cloud Files storage fees.
There are 3 types of files that change as Cloud Backup backs them up:
If files are modified during backup, they may be:
These file types either change too rapidly (databases, logs, caches) or don't exist long enough to be backed up (session files). Session files should be avoided entirely. And if the information is valuable to your business, log files should track it. Caches should also be avoided, as their data is meant to be discarded.
If you do need to back up these files, our suggested workarounds are:
No. The agent only makes outgoing SSL connections to our API server on port 443.
Yes - Some Ubuntu users have older agents installed on their machines. In order to communicate properly with your system, the config file may need to be overwritten with a current version.
Rackspace double checks to make sure files get written properly when backed up and restored. However, if an uploaded file is corrupt, it will get backed up and restored as corrupted. The backup and restore processes themselves should never corrupt files. File corruption occurring in Cloud Files itself may render the backup unusable, should this ever occur.
Rackspace does not store customer encryption keys. Only you will know and be able to access your encryption passphrase. If you forget your passphrase, you will not be able to restore data from your Backups.
See our section on Setting up Encryption on your Cloud Backup System in the Getting Started Guide for more information.
If you wish to create your own encrypted key and bypass the default client-side encryption, please refer to this article on using OpenSSL to generate a key.

Mark's Gospel has often been described as a "enigma' and this can apply both to the whole of Mark's text, as well as to nearly all of its mysterious contents.

This enigma involving multiple dimensions, levels and stages are in evidence in the following five important and multiple aspects of Mark's Gospel.read more
Basically, the Church was developing within a strongly partiarchal and heirarchical society….

When people most seek him, Jesus runs away.
When people finally get an inkling, a glimpse of who he is, Jesus disappears.
When people at last realize that there is something different about this teacher and healer, Jesus vanishes, eager almost in his need to be absent and alone.
What about Semi-theism and Semi-atheism? Can these concepts better express our known and experienced reality? My answer is "yes". Such a view of God is multi-dimensional and takes into account at least three levels of God-analysis, namely God-theology, God-talk and God-truths. We can start with God-theology, the traditional "Queen of the Sciences" in the context and thinking of the West's intellectual history.read more

JetCat turbines cleared to run Diesel!January 28th, 2014
Premium Diesel BP Ultimate and Shell V Power semi synthetic Diesel fuel have been cleared to use in JetCat Turbines.
As of today (28-1-2014) JetCat decided to approve these fuels for JetCat engines. They said " we made a lot of test and some of our pilots fly about one year without issues, so it is now approved"
The best results we made with the ARAL (BP in England) Ultimate Diesel, a little smoke during the start sequence and on shut down, the shell caused the P60 and P20 to be a little up and down on idle speed and propensity to cough, but never stop. The ARAL (BP) Ultimate Fuel works the same as kerosene, only smoke as mentioned before.
The 5% Turbine oil is the same as for Kerosene.
Kerosene is still recommended, but the warranty isn't affected by using the premium Diesel.
The service time maybe reduced and could be more expensive based on the additives Diesel contains due sediment blockage. More information will come with experience.

Hurricane Ike, which battered Cuba and the Turks and Caicos Islands earlier in the week, has hit Galvaston, Texas. Powerful 110mph+ winds and torrential rain has caused major flooding and areas of the town are currently under 5 ft of water. Galvaston is famous for the Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest hurricane in US history.
The path of the storm is struck Houston in the early morning of September 13th and caused power outages and minor damage. The extent of the damage is not yet known.

Architecture for Humanity and Lulan Artisans are partnering to build off-the-grid sustainable weaving cooperatives for women throughout South Asia. Thanks to your support we are in the semi-finals of the $2.5M American Express Members Project. We now have a one in five chance of winning funds needed to fund this program and need your vote.
Out of the top 25, it is the only project that demonstrates a hybrid for-profit/non-profit business model, to propel local cooperatives into strong economic engines with this developmental seed funding. Additionally, it is the only project in contention that is using Creative Commons licensing to openly distribute the building design solutions for these centers.

This weekend two strong storms emerged in the Gulf. On a day where we were to remember the three years since Hurricane Katrina our teams were helping families evacuate. Most, if not all, of our families and staff are out by now. Below I've added a series of resources.
The best site for tracking storms is stormpulse. Gustav hit 70 miles South of New Orleans, LA and 130 miles southwest of Biloxi, MS on September 1st. As of 12pm (Sept. 1) there are storm surges of 6-8ft in Biloxi, 9ft in Waveland and the west bacnk of the Industrial Canal levees are being topped over.
Tropical Storm Hanna is currently on course to become a Hurricane on Thursday September 4th and hit landfall on the 5th somewhere from Miami, Florida to Savannah, Georgia.

After nearly two years, all seven biloxi model homes are complete or nearly constructed. It's been quite a journey. Last weekend we took some time out to celebrate this amazing accomplishment. It was great to see all the families and architects in one room. We haven't done that since the program began. Naturally, this being Biloxi, there was plenty of food and good humor on hand. Huge thanks to everyone for making this program possible and showing us all how to help families come home.

Sportables challenged participants to design a highly demountable, portable sports product library, product development studio, and futsal (soccer) play area for the community of Capao Redondo, a dense, colorful, and energetic settlement near Sao Paolo, Brazil. The "pop-up" facility deploys to provide jerseys, shoes, and balls, using sports inspire change for youth of both genders, and provide income generation opportunities for others. All designs had to grapple with issues of space, accessibility, security, resource scarcity and community.
The winning design by Toby R. Keeton is a brilliant and carefully thought-out compact module that is easy to transport and deploy, but also provides incentives for the participants to take ownership in the community resource.

The Insect Repellent DEET
Quick Resources
- Contact the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) 1-800-858-7378
Este Web page está disponible en español
DEET (chemical name, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is the active ingredient in many insect repellent products. It is used to repel biting pests such as mosquitoes and ticks, including ticks that may carry Lyme disease. Every year, approximately one-third of the U.S. population is expected to use DEET. Products containing DEET currently are available to the public in a variety of liquids, lotions, sprays, and impregnated materials (e.g., wrist bands). Formulations registered for direct application to human skin contain from 4 to 100% DEET. Except for a few veterinary uses, DEET is registered for use by consumers, and it is not used on food.
DEET is designed for direct application to human skin to repel insects, rather than kill them. After it was developed by the U.S. Army in 1946, DEET was registered for use by the general public in 1957. Approximately 140 products containing DEET are currently registered with EPA by about 39 different companies.
Safety review of DEET completed in 1998
After completing a comprehensive re-assessment of DEET, EPA concluded that, as long as consumers follow label directions and take proper precautions, insect repellents containing DEET do not present a health concern. Human exposure is expected to be brief, and long-term exposure is not expected. Based on extensive toxicity testing, the Agency believes that the normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population. EPA completed this review and issued its reregistration decision (called a RED) in 1998. (More about REDs)
How to use DEET products safely
Consumers can reduce their own risks when using DEET by
reading and following products labels. All DEET product labels include
the following directions:
- Read and follow all directions and precautions on this product label.
- Do not apply over cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.
- Do not apply to hands or near eyes and mouth of young children.
- Do not allow young children to apply this product.
- Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin and/or clothing.
- Do not use under clothing.
- Avoid over-application of this product.
- After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water.
- Wash treated clothing before wearing it again.
- Use of this product may cause skin reactions in rare cases. The following additional statements will appear on the labels of all aerosol and pump spray formulation labels:
- Do not spray in enclosed areas.
- To apply to face, spray on hands first and then rub on face. Do not spray directly onto face.
Using DEET on children
DEET is approved for use on children with no age restriction. There is no restriction on the percentage of DEET in the product for use on children, since data do not show any difference in effects between young animals and adult animals in tests done for product registration. There also are no data showing incidents that would lead EPA to believe there is a need to restrict the use of DEET. Consumers are always advised to read and follow label directions in using any pesticide product, including insect repellents.
What to do in the event of a potential reaction to DEET
If you suspect that you or your child is having an adverse reaction to this product, discontinue use of the product, wash treated skin, and call your local poison control center or physician for help. If you go to a doctor, take the repellent container with you.
Benefits of DEET products
DEET's most significant benefit is its ability to repel potentially disease-carrying
insects and ticks. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) receives more than
20,000 reports of Lyme disease (transmitted by deer ticks) and 100 reports
of encephalitis (transmitted by mosquitoes) annually. Both of these diseases
can cause serious health problems or even death in the case of encephalitis.
Where these diseases are endemic, the CDC recommends use of insect repellents
when out-of-doors. Studies submitted to EPA indicate that DEET repels
ticks for about three to eight hours, depending on the percentage of DEET
in the product.

Alright, the TTL is back and hopefully better after a brief hiatus. The format has been tweaked somewhat, so if you missed out on that post then check it out at this link:
One announcement is that the captain of Las Panteras has quit both his team and the league. As such, Lakers will take over for him. Also, because of Lakers stepping up as Captain, I've decided to swap my FA waiver order position with him for this week.
Now to those Free Agent acquisitions. Here are the moves that have been made for the upcoming week:
Team Ramrod: Add - Philly / Drop - Rudedog
Las Panteras: Add - OM / Drop - N/A (replacing empty spot)
Dragon Army: Add - Roni / Drop - N/A (replacing empty spot, SHANK was deleted)
Banana Hammocks: Add - Float / Drop - jbfpack
Which makes the current FA list:
Mikey L
Rager: Costa Rica
Hail to the Wing
Now, the standings are as follows:
1) 911 Response! - 17 points (8-3-1)
2) Las Panteras - 13 points (6-5-1)
3) Dragon Army - 12 points (5-5-2)
4) Banana Hammocks - 10 points (5-7-0)
5) Team Ramrod - 10 points (4-6-2)
5) Fannation Expos -10 points (4-6-2)
Based on that, the matchups for Week 3 are as follows:
911 Response! vs. Team Ramrod
Las Panteras vs. Banana Hammocks
Dragon Army vs. Fannation Expos
As per TTL rules, the lower ranked team in each matchup will be the one to receive the topics, while the other team narrows the topics down and starts the TD. So that means that Team Ramrod, Banana Hammocks and the Fannation Expos will be receiving topics shortly.
The timeline for Week 2 is as follows: The lower ranked team has from Friday until the noon (eastern) Sunday to assign the 12 topics to their team and send them to their opponent. After that, the higher ranked team has from three (eastern) Sunday until noon (eastern) Wednesday to assign the topics and get all TDs started. All arguments must be submitted by noon (eastern) Friday. Note that this does not mean that voting has to be complete.
Any questions, let me know. Captains, you'll be getting a FM from me soon containing topics. Free Agents, don't give up hope, you can still be signed. Anyone not in the TTL, you can still join now!
Thank you all, and good luck.

Houston >Food & Dining > Miller's Cafe
3830 N Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX | Directions 7701829.822200 -95.410406
Sat: 11am-5pm, Mon-Fri: 11am-9pm
Neighborhoods: North, Independence Heights
Sorta good – Con: I used to be a regular here until they did away with the fresh cut fries, which are essential to any good burger experience. Frozen fries are so ersatz.
Pro: The burger itself is decent. Messy like it should be. You can get whatever you want: grilled onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, bacon, etc. The poppy seed bun is unique.
Con: Mayo comes default instead of mustard, which is weak. This is Texas; real men eat mustard. Sometimes I accidentally forget to ask for mustard and end up with mayo, so then I have to either a) settle and eat it anyway if my lunch hour is limited, or b) hassle with asking them to change it.
Pro: classic small-town, old-school atmosphere like an ice house. Bottled beer and sodas in tubs of ice. The Galaga arcade game is fun to play while waiting for my order.
Pro: lady behind register was friendly. At busy lunch hour, the long line moved quickly, and the food came promptly.
Pro: the fresh-brewed sweat tea is good.
Great burger bad service – We have lived in the neighborhood since 1998. About a year ago we(the 4 of us) decided to try Miller's Cafe and loved it. Unfortunetly after 3 or 4 times of eating there we noticed that the service was getting worse. The greetings were cold and very unfriendly especially by the short lady that usually takes the orders.The staff usually speaks a different language and yells frequently across the restaurant.The manager is an exception from the rest .Save yourself the rudeness and go down the street to 5 GUYS wear they also make a great burger.
THE place for a perfect Burger – I had Never seen or heard of it, until a friend took me... THE best burgers in Town, i have taken almost everyone i know to Millers... Great place and Great food.
Juicy burgers? – Recently, my brother and I were on our way to meet friends at a steakhouse on Bay Area but couldn't find it. Frustrated, I pulled into a strip center and walked inside to Miller's Cafe. As I asked the manager for directions, I couldn't notice what juicy, great looking burgers and fries being served! We found the steakhouse, but were sorry to pass this place up.
Calorie counters may stay away, but hungry burger-lovers can place their order with twelve different varieties of hamburger on the menu. – In Short
Though unassuming from the exterior due to its strip mall location and simple signage, inside patrons heartily enjoy made-to-order hamburgers on poppy seed buns that are luckily large enough to handle all the fixings on the menu. Metal siding lines the long narrow interior where historical memorabilia echoes the satisfied taste buds of customers past. Family-owned since 1980, this home-grown tribute to the hamburger is a welcome change from nation-wide chains offering microwaved mediocrity.
Houston's best kept secret – When one thinks of good hamburgers in Houston they might think of MytiBurger, and Miller's Cafe. Miller's is a family owned restaurant in a shopping center in Garden Oaks. The burgers are amazing, and large enough to split with another person. If you're looking for a good sports bar, or somewhere to "catch the game" then remember Miller's. On a given afternoon around lunchtime they have a line almost out the door. Come hungry. Also try the fries.
Wonderful! – The BEST burger joint in Northside, possibly all of Houston!! The mushroom burger is my favorite, but they are all tasty! You will not be disappointed!
mmm mmm good! – I have worked in the Food Service Industry for 20 years and I believe Miller's is the Best Burger "JOINT" on the northside
Don't expect express service during the week day lunch, this place ain't McDonalds, they have a crowd for a reason GOOD FOOD. But the short wait is well worth the product!!!!!!!!!
Great Burger Neighborhood Atmosphere – Margarito has been flipping burgers here for the fifteen years I've been going to this just north of the Heights location on Shepherd. A great burger served on a poppy seed bun with all the fixins. My wife likes the grilled onion version but I like my onions crispy and tangy. The onion rings are great. They make french fries out of whole sliced potatoes before your eyes, but they're not quite as crisp as I like them, my only complaint.
happy – Very good hamburgers & decent fries. Service with a smile & an excellent manager.

Turnaround & Restructuring Tax Services
Tax services for turnaround and restructuring transactions or events
As the global economy slowly recovers from the credit crisis, many companies still face unique challenges. In the next few years, many businesses face principal payments on significant debt balances and may be considering refinancing or broader restructuring. Companies may also find themselves underperforming, or even headed toward periods of new distress. Strategies to conserve cash and reduce costs take on a heightened priority.
Regardless of size, every business must consider the tax consequences of actions taken to mitigate these indicators of financial distress.
- Is the company considering refinancing or restructuring of its debt obligations?
- Is the company contemplating a disposition of entities or other assets to raise cash?
- Is the company experiencing changes in its ownership, whether inadvertent or by design?
Some companies are taking advantage of recent marketplace conditions by acquiring companies that have been, or are still, distressed. Those situations present similar tax challenges and opportunities that warrant careful attention both before and after a deal.
To learn more about debt modification tax rules or turnaround and restructuring tax services, please download the attachments above.
